BURRARD CLEANER
NO. 9
MARCO Seattle
Circle 66 on Reader Service Card
A newly-designed oil spill recov-
ery vessel from MARCO Pollution
Control, one of the world's largest
builders and designers of these types
of vessels, was recently commis-
sioned by a Canadian owner. Called
the Burrard Cleaner No. 9, she is
the largest oil recovery vessel serv-
ing Canada.
The steel-hulled vessel is 75 feet
long, with a beam of 22 feet, six
inches and a depth of nine feet, seven
inches.
It is powered by a Caterpillar
3412TA diesel engine driving an
Ulstein 370H 360-degree-rotatable
Z-drive.
The vessel also has a MARCO T-
80 stern thruster to assist in maneu-
vering in confined areas.
Recovered oil is held on board in
a 500-barrel-capacity sump, from
which a screw pump can discharge
it to other vessels or storage units.
The Burrard Cleaner No. 9 fea-
tures MARCO's Filterbelt recovery
technology, the heart of the
company's recovery systems. The
filterbelt is a unique oleophilic belt
that recovers all types of oil and
debris under a wide variety of condi-
tions.
The OSRV features MARCO's
new 4000 Series technology, which
incorporates a larger four-foot-wide
filterbelt and 40 hp MARCO T-52
induction pump.
This new unit can process and
remove oil from seawater at a rate of
up to 10,000 gallons encountered
seawater per minute.
The vessel was built at the West
Coast Manly Shipyard in Vancouver
under MARCO supervision for
Burrard Clean Operations Ltd., a
Vancouver, B.C., cooperative. The
vessel is to be used to protect the
waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

bility.

Systems division delivered the first
of two Surface Effect Ship (SES)
multipurpose fireboats to the New

to enhanced fire suppression capa-
bilities, provides search and rescue,
security and patrol, and pollution
control services. The SES is a
waterborne, air-supported vessel
with catamaran-like rigid side hulls,
which uses a cushion of trapped air
between the side hulls and flexible
bow and stern seals to lift the center
